Abstract: In a magnetic tape cassette, a top end portion of a reel urging plate spring for urging a tape reel is subjected to a surface treatment to prevent from a friction. A distance between a couple of flanges of the tape reel is selected to keep a form of the wound magnetic tape, and to prevent the tape running from being disturbed by the increase of a contact resistance of the tape edges to the flanges. Additionally, positioning portions for positioning the magnetic tape cassette relative to a magnetic tape drive device are formed of a differential resin from the resin of the remaining part of the cassette case. Additionally, at least one of both end faces of each guide roller is surface treated so that the end face is not worn through its contact with the cassette half. Further, an information presenting section for displaying variable information is provided at a location other than label areas of the tape cassette.

Abstract: A divider/combiner unit combines RF signals, then converts the
combined signal into an optical signal and sends it over an optical fiber. N
radio access units each convert the optical signal received from the optical
fiber into an RF signal and transmits it from an antenna, and each radio access
unit converts an RF signal received by the antenna into an optical signal and
sends it over an optical fiber to the divider/combiner unit. The
divider/combiner unit converts the received optical signal into RF signals and
outputs them. This system is operated as plurality of communication
systems in common to them in correspondence to a plurality of input/output
terminals of the divider/combiner unit.
